It is theorized that protons and nuetrons are actuall formed from a combination of smaller particles what are these particles called?
These particles are called quarks. (Protons made up of two up quarks and a down quark, neutrons made up of two down quarks and an up quark.)
What atomic particles always carry a negative charge?
The electron, muon and tau; the down quark, the strange quark, the bottom quark; and the W boson.
What is a proton quark made up of?
well, a quark makes up protons, nutrons and electrons. there are some therios: but no awnser, quarks are basic things. but they make up this whole universe. it is not yet discoverd what makes up quarks.
What charge do the different subatomic particles have?
I suppose you are talking about electric charge (since there are others like color or hypercharge). Everything is in units of the elementary charge (i.e. ~1.6 * 10-19 C) The following particles have a charge of +2/3 Up Quark, Charm Quark, Top Quark The following particles have a charge of -1/3 Down Quark, Strange Quark, Bottom Quark The following particles have a charge of -1 Electron, Muon, Tau, Proton (but the Proton consists of two ups and one down quark), W- boson The following particles have a charge of +1 W+ boson The following particles have no charge: Electron Neutrino, Muon Neutrino, Tau Neutrino, Neutron (consists of two down and one up quark), Photon, Higgs (not found yet), Graviton (also not yet found), Z0 boson, gluon. There are also various other composite particles such as mesons, but those are far too numerous to list.
What combination of subatomic particles make up a proton?
Protons are made up of subatomic particles, called quarks. In a proton, there are three quarks: two up quarks, and one down quark (basically positive and negative quarks, but there is a fine difference between up and positive, and down and negative quarks, so down and up are used when referring to types of quarks). So, a proton isn't just a positively charged, solid particle - it is made up of smaller particles. Though, protons aren't broken down any further than quarks, because quarks are elementary particles. Elementary particles are particles that aren't made up of anything smaller than itself.
What particles are released from the nucleus when a down quark changes into an up quark?
When a down quark changes into an up quark in the nucleus, a Nestor is changing into a proton. The particles released (for almost all neutron to proton transformations) are an electron and an electron anti-neutrino.
Which is the smallest of the basic forms of subatomic particles?
Quark is the smallest particle ever discovered.
What is a elementary particle?
An elementary particle is considered to be a quark. A quark is a building block for subatomic particles.
Is quark misfit in Einsteins' theory?
Einstein's theories had nothing to do with elementary particles, and so the quark does not clash with them.
What are quark particles found inside?
Nuetrons and protons.
What is the scientific name of particles of matter?
Photon
3 sub-atomic particles of an atom?
Proton, neutron and electron At a lower level up quark, down quark, and electron
The smallest particle in physics?
That depends. The smallest particle in the classic physics is te atom. In the modern physics is the quark (quark is the composition of an eletron). WHAT IS THE SMALLEST PARTICLE The quark
How are quark and subatomic particles the same?
All are particles of matter; quarks are the components of protons and neutrons and are considered as fundamental fermionic particles.
